Advance Praise
"I would recommend this book to anyone who likes James Patterson or books like his. I can't wait for the next book to come out."
—Sandra Labella, Amazon reviewer
“Suspense, thriller with a perfect ending, leaving me wanting more. An
on the edge of your seat, all night read. I most certainly will be
reading “Dream On.”
—Sheri Wilkinson, Sandwich, IL
“New authors come and go every day. Very few come on the scene with the
ability to weave a tale that will make you sad to reach the end, longing
for more. At a time when the world needs a real hero, Patterson
delivers big with the WJA's Mark Appleton—an unlikely hero for the 21st
century.”
—The Joe Show

Finished ~ Sweet Dreams (Mark Appleton 01) by Aaron Patterson Completed 8/23/14 4 of 5 stars 423 page Kindle book
I received this book from NetGalley for my honest review.
In the description of this book at GoodReads, it says the following ~
"Warning: The WJA series is a cross genre series and may bend or break many rules.If you are set in the traditional ways of storytelling this may not be the series for you. Please use caution and only read if you are of an open mind, and crave something off the map and mind-bending."
I'm here to tell you, that statement is COMPLETELY accurate. I've never read a book like this before, and just wow!
The book itself is follows Mark Appleton, a man who is trying to piece his life together after his wife and child were killed in what the police believe was an accident. Mark finds out otherwise and wants to find the people responsible.
The only negative about this book is that the first 60% of the book is just "OK", even bordering on boring. There's a little bit of action, but not a lot. It's almost like a VERY VERY long prologue, because after you hit 60%, holy shit, the book just takes off in a completely different direction and I STILL don't know exactly what it is that happened. If the first 60% was a 3 star book, the last 40% was a 10 star book. It's that much of a change!
I'm a big fan of action in my books. I read very little that doesn't have some kind of action in it. I love romantic suspense and some action adventure books, such as Matt Reilly. This book ends up delivering in spades, it just takes a while to get there. If you are patient enough to stick with half of the book, it's worth it at the end.
I would love to talk more about this book, but I'd start to ruin it. It's gotta be experienced not knowing anything about it. It's for fans of mystery, suspense, thriller, action and a few more things I don't want to mention because it'd give stuff away. Just give this book a try. I can't wait to try the next one!

Very good attempt at cross genre. Really gripping story line

OMG, WOW, what a read. This is one heck of a thrill ride from start to finish. My only problem was I couldn't finish it in one night. Mark is one great hero. His life is so perfect until tragic event kills his wife and daughter. Or did it? In his search for the terrorists he discovers his past. At the same time police Det. Kirk Weston is searching for the people responsible for the deaths of dozens of prison convicts. Two different paths that will cross at the end. I am going to read this book again. It's that good..
Carol D, Reviewer
A terrific story, a mystery, a thriller, suspenseful and some fantasy. It has a twist, so surprising that I gasped out loud. Mark Appleton, seemingly an ordinary guy, loses his wife and daughter in a bomb blast. The explosion is deemed an accident, but some time later Mark decides to investigate further......and there the thrilling ride begins.. I can't wait to read more from this author!
